A $5 billion water project could drill through Anza-Borrego park. Is it a pipe dream? [The San Diego Union-Tribune :: BC-CALIF-PARK-WATERPROJECT:SD]
SAN DIEGO It would be arguably the most ambitious public works project in San Diego history.
The envisioned pipeline would carry Colorado River water more than 130 miles from the Imperial Valley through the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, tunneling under the Cuyamaca Mountains, and passing through the Cleveland National Forest to eventually connect with a water-treatment plant in San Marcos.
An alternative route would run through the desert to the south, boring under Mount Laguna before emptying into the San Vicente Reservoir in Lakeside.
IV Coalition and IID partner to help locals pay their bills
EL CENTRO, Calif.(KYMA, KECY) - The Imperial Valley Justice and Equity Coalition partnered with several non-profits and proposed a payment plan to the Imperial Irrigation District for individuals who are unable to pay their utility bills. The IID agreed and began helping the coalition spread the word.
This idea came amid an 11 million dollar debt. We understand some people who were able to start paying their bills didn t and were taking advantage but some weren t, this program is for people who are still struggling to make it, said Eric Reyes, Activist for Imperial Valley Justice and Coalition.

When turbines at a natural gas power plant in California go offline, battery energy storage will be used as a ‘much cleaner alternative’ to diesel or other fossil fuels in getting them up and running again.
Siemens Energy has been awarded an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to deploy large batteries at Marsh Landing Generating Station owned by US infrastructure investor Clearway. The 800MW power station runs on four Siemens simple-cycle gas turbine units and in the event of a power outage or blackout on the grid, battery storage will be connected to two of the units to get them back online as quickly as possible.
